What's Happening!

I have a few new things on my design wall. First, another baby quilt. Just because. A fun, quick quilt to make. a Giant Gingham. I saw it on Crafty Blossom's blog. I cut my squares 4 3/4" because that is the size of the die that I used in my Accuquilt Go cutter. Cut 8 at a time. I am working on sewing the rows together today.

I used Kona colours...White, Ash and Coal for the squares and I will be using Kona Curry for the binding. I am going to use this cute print for the backing.

When Tula Pink's "Eden" arrived at It's Sew Time, I could not resist the temptation to buy a quarter metre cut of each of the 22 prints that were received. I do adore Tula. I immediately cut into them with no real plan. I do that a lot! I had started out to design some kind of a new cushion, but once the colours started to come together for me, they screamed to be stacked together in a colour column. Using Tula's Totally Tubular Technique from her book, "Quilts from the House of Tula Pink", I now have a plan. But you will have to wait to see how it all comes together.

Oh you...you are like the energizer bunny! How can anyone keep up with all the quilty things you've got on the go? Loving both these projects...giant gingham! Wow! The Tula? Want!! And that fox (not in socks) print is perfect for the back of a baby's quilt... sigh.... Not enough hours in my weeks, crime really.
